Bill 118 hr 2687, also known as the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act Amendment, aims to make changes to the existing Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The main purpose of this bill is to exclude certain payments made to aged, blind, or disabled Alaska Natives or descendants of Alaska Natives from being considered when determining eligibility for certain government programs. The bill seeks to ensure that these vulnerable populations are not unfairly penalized or disqualified from receiving assistance due to the receipt of specific payments. By excluding these payments from eligibility determinations, the bill aims to provide greater support and resources to aged, blind, and disabled Alaska Natives and their descendants. In addition to addressing eligibility criteria for government programs, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. These additional purposes may include clarifications, updates, or modifications to existing provisions within the Act. Overall, Bill 118 hr 2687 seeks to protect and support aged, blind, and disabled Alaska Natives and their descendants by ensuring that certain payments are not used against them when determining eligibility for government programs. The bill aims to promote fairness and equity in the distribution of resources and assistance to these vulnerable populations.
